Use the following to find the two roots:

 

\(y_{\pm}=\frac{19\pm \sqrt{19^2-4\times1\times7}}{2\times1}\)

 

Let r = y+, say, and s = y-

Can you take it from here?

Well I not surprised you not know because everyone here except you have done your homework.  Your brain muscle is about the size of a peanut because you never use it.

 

There is no use overloading your brain now.

 

r = 31.903

s = 6.0965
